:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
Samoa is currently not on the map as a visitable country so having an airline added in that was a regular at SYD would put it on the map. The airline began as Polynesian Blue Airlines in 2005 as Virgin Blue, Virgin Australia before the rebrand, wanted to branch out into other markets. In 2011, in conjunction with their parent, the airline changed its name and livery to that of Virgin Samoa and continued providing a service until 2017 when it was shut down as VOZ was consolidating its operations. It would provide another livery to SYD and another option for players to field in-game.
